The 1.7 matches "Ninja's" highest 18-49 rating since June 2 and the 5.2 million in total viewers is the show's biggest overall audience since that same date.

In its second hour from 10-11, "Ninja" ranked #1 among ABC, CBS and NBC in all key measures ahead of CBS's "Under the Dome" recap and ABC's "Mistresses" original. From 10-11, "Ninja's" 1.8 rating for the hour in 18-49 equaled the combined result of "Dome" (0.8) and "Mistresses" (1.0).

Tuesday: Despite airing an encore "America's Got Talent," NBC won Tuesday night among the Big 4 networks in adults 18-49, total viewers and every other key measure, with the #1 show of the night on those nets in every key demographic, "America's Got Talent."

An encore telecast of "America's Got Talent" (1.9/6 in 18-49, 7.9 million viewers overall from 8-10:01 p.m. ET) retained 90% of Sunday's 9-11 p.m. original run of this episode in adults 18-49 (1.9 vs. 2.1) and retained 98% in total viewers (7.9 million vs. 8.1 million).

In adults 18-49, the "Talent" encore won the slot among the Big 4 by a +90% margin (1.9 vs. a 1.0 for both ABC and CBS). It was the highest rated "Talent" encore in 18-49 in two years (since Tuesday, May 29, 2012) and in total viewers in three years (since Wednesday, June 22, 2011).

Despite this week's encore lead-in, "The Night Shift" (1.2/4 in 18-49, 5.9 million viewers overall from 10:01-11 p.m. ET) retained 92% of its 18-49 rating of the prior week, even with a drop in lead-in of 0.9 of a point or 31% in the 9:30 half-hour. In total viewers, "Night Shift" retained 95% of the prior week's result (5.9 million vs. 6.3 million), despite a drop of 4.0 million viewers or 33% in the 9:30 half-hour with the switch from a "Talent" original to a "Talent" encore. In the slot, "The Night Shift" ranked #1 among ABC, CBS and NBC in total viewers.

Wednesday: An encore telecast of "America's Got Talent" (1.3/5 in adults 18-49, 6.2 million viewers overall from 8-10:01 p.m. ET) attracted NBC's biggest overall audience in the slot, excluding sports, since Jan. 29, while matching the network's top 18-49 rating in the time period, excluding sports, since May 14.

The debut of "Taxi Brooklyn" (1.0/3 in 18-49, 5.3 million viewers overall from 10:01-11 p.m. ET) ranked #1 for the hour among ABC, CBS and NBC in adults 18-49, adults 25-54 and other key demos. Versus NBC's average in the time period last summer, "Taxi Brooklyn" was up +29% in total viewers (5.3 million vs. 4.1 million, L+SD non-sports). From its first half-hour to its second, "Taxi Brooklyn" retained 90% of its 18-49 rating, despite airing in the 10 p.m. hour (earning a 0.9 from 10:30-11 vs. a 1.0 from 10-10:30).
